Although we hear very little of it, Final Fantasy Explorers for the 3DS is one of our favourite games to come out early this year. Being able to explore the world on the go with more than 20 different classes is a nice promise indeed. It looks like a mix between the likes of the MMO Final Fantasy XIV; A Realm Reborn and one of the 3DS’ earlier hits Monster hunter 4. Regardless of what it is exactly, it will be a loveletter to long time Final Fantasy fans…
Update januari 26th, 2016: The Day of the release.. In North America that is.. For those living in Europe, we still have to wait 3 more days. To calm that wait, and provide you with even more info to help you make the decision on whether or not you want to buy it, we made a list of some of the interesting reviews of the big websites. Below that, we’ll place the release trailer.
- IGN (Reviewer: Meghan Sullivan) : 6.8
- GameSpot (Reviewer: Alexa Ray Corriea) : 7.0
- NintendoLife (Reviewer: Damien McFerran) : 7.0
We would have hoped to see the reviews a bit more positive, but a 7 should still be able to entertain the Final Fantasy fans among us..
As promised: The release trailer… Now, let the wait continue.. just 3. more. days.
